Alumni Views
Attending Villanova for my master's degree (in HRD) was one of the best professional decisions I ever made.
I found the program rigorous and rewarding. The faculty offered current and comprehensive industry knowledge. The core curriculum was grounded in the business of human resources; the electives were varied and relevant. The course designs complemented the subject matter, and there was an appropriate balance of individual and group projects.
The support of both faculty and students contributed to my success in the program. I highly recommend the Villanova (HRD) Program.

By communicating effectively, participants set and share personal goals with one another that are convenient with their work schedules. Participants are required to meet once per month to ensure progressive development and goal attainment. Participants are expected to communicate and provide feedback to the HRD Department for improving the program as well.
